Galatians 3:10

Under the curse (uJpo kataran). Better, under curse. There is no article. The phrase is general = accursed. Comp. uJf' aJmartian under sin, Romans 3:9. The specific character of the curse is not stated. It is not merely the wrath of God as it issues in final destruction (Meyer); but it represents a condition of alienation from God, caused by violation of his law, with all the penalty which accrues from it, either in this life or the next.

Cursed [ε π ι κ α τ α ρ α τ ο ς]. Only here and verse 13. o Class. In LXX, see Genesis 3:14; Genesis 3:17; Deuteronomy 27:16-20; Isaiah 65:20; Wisd. 3 12; 14 8, etc.

Continueth - in [ε μ μ ε ν ε ι]. The expression is figurative, the book of the law being conceived as a prescribed district or domain, in which one remains or out of which he goes. Comp. continue in the faith, Acts 14:22; in the covenant, Hebrews 13:9; in the things which thou hast learned, 2 Timothy 3:14.
